StepMachine Update
Apr. 28th, 2010 08:01 pmToday I acquired the TV that will be used as the StepMania machine's screen.

This is the TV that will become the screen for the StepMania machine. It's a 30" Philips, 4:3 aspect. I got this bad boy from FreeCycle!
The XBox is there to test the screen and for size comparison.
Before I place this in the cab I'll be removing the casing and everything that isn't needed (speakers, RF modulator, etc), and considering the weight of this I'll probably have to weigh down the back of the screen module to sort out it's centre of gravity.

This is the PC that will be used to run the StepMania machine. When it comes to putting it into the cabinet I will forgo the case and bolt it directly to the walls of the cab.
It's a Mini-ITX board with a 1GHz Celeron and 512mb RAM. I'll be upgrading those soon and adding a PCI graphics card (at least 64mb) which has TV-Out.
